A dental crown is a strong, custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, function, and appearance, allowing you to chew without pain and smile with confidence. Crowns also protect the tooth underneath, helping prevent further damage.

A dental bridge is a reliable, long-term solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap using natural teeth or dental implants for support. Bridges restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably while keeping your smile complete.
Using our Shining Elite Aoral 3D Intraoral Scanner, we design bridges with a perfect fit. This ensures the restoration feels natural, looks great, and lasts longer, with minimal need for adjustment.
Bridges also help maintain proper tooth alignment and facial structure, preventing nearby teeth from shifting out of place over time.
Crowns and bridges do more than fix your teeth—they restore your quality of life. You’ll be able to eat your favorite foods again, speak with ease, and smile without second-guessing. And with the added support to surrounding teeth, your smile stays strong and stable for the long term.
